René Clair

Highest Rated: 100% Beauties of the Night (1952)

Lowest Rated: 29% The Flame of New Orleans (1941)

Birthday: Nov 11, 1898

Birthplace: Paris, France

Rene Clair almost single-handedly revived French film comedy after WWI, adapting the pre-war comic tradition to sound technology and the realities of the post-war era. Though he eventually broadened his range of material and faltered toward the end of his career, he will always be remembered as France's first great director of comedies.
